We at Foundership decided to DO to answer these questions.

1. What’s Web3? Does it work?

The best answer to What’s Web3 is here https://ethereum.org/en/web3/

When we hosted the first Web3 Cohort in Nov-Dec 2021, I could invite many successful Founders & CXOs (SaaS, Media, B2B, B2C from across industries) to join to learn.

We hosted 14 Masterclasses by 12 Web3 Founders & Leaders.

  • AgriTech
  • Social Web3
  • Traditional receivables financing
  • Blockchain Technology Platform
  • Community Commerce
  • and more

Participants were spellbound.

2. Could you show me ‘real’ use cases of products built with Web3 technology/ philosophies? Web3 is all crypto?

3. How to learn Web3?

4. How to Launch a Web3 Startup?

We ran several cohorts to help Founders & Leaders learn web3. But the frequent question: How to Launch a Web3 Startup?

It is easy to launch a Startup! However, the first 12–24 months of a startup are critical. Unfortunately, more than 90% of startups fail in execution as they miss out on finding the right direction.

Not having support during the idea to the early-building stage to choose the right problem, Technology, market, early validations and more factors add to the fact that 90% of startups fail in execution.

Failing in a Startup is the costliest problem for a Founder. Founders are the last man standing.

We have run businesses for decades. So we knew the practical problems to solve this.

Bringing the best way to Launch a Web3 Startup.
